Farewel dinner ... waaay~ back post

Hehe... well its been loooong now but its always better late than never right? :p. This actually happen on 7th of May which was my 2nd last day in Sony... Some of my closer colleagues plan to have a farewel dinner wif me.

We went to nearby place for dinner and ... ... ... well it din came out good initally. The waiter accidently spilled a drink on my colleague and ... well that surelly affected my mood a little. Anyway i should let that spoild my precious moment, at least they din let it happen. Well it was actually a casual dinner so nothing much to talk about... just that it was my 1st farewell dinner and ... ... i wanna remember it ...

So some of the more precious moments.

What did i do ?? =_="

Oh well... X_X

Can't even escape the ladies...

But overall... they are my closest colleagues in Sony and it was their presence that really made it difficult for me to leave. All my time there, it was their faces and voices that made me looking forward to going to work ... thanks guys (n ladies) :)

My precious colleagues

Resigning is not easy to do,
It’s harder to leave after feelings grew,
Time and again I’ve seen people leave,
But never thought it would happen to me.

IE is where I stay,
For all 50 weeks of my Sony days,
SST calculation effect my gaze,
Wire dress my trouble away.

There are people whom I’ll really miss,
The trial “twins” are among in the list,
In my time here, we’re a team,
Working together, chasing our dream.

My time here has been a joy,
Even sometimes being treated like a toy,
Nevertheless it’s been fun,
Down to the final moment when I run.

Till the day we met again,
Rejoicing memories of all my friends,
But our fun time sure flew by,
Now is high time to say goodbye.

Attached my email and contact to you,
Please remember me n dun be cruel,
Drop me a line or do email me,
A friend like me is hard NOT to miss.

Yup, just wanna share out something that i think i'll treasure for quite some time.. tis is actually the last email that i send out b4 i left sony about 2 weeks back. And for all that it worth, i actually got lectured by my manger for sending out tis mail. It has been kinda a tradition for those leaving to send out an email to all to say their goodbyes but somehow i got a good scrubbing by my boss... sigh, well nvm... coz he's no longer my boss and anyway,

So what? Wuakakaka.. just that come to think of it, i still do miss my colleagues back there, that's all.

Legacy ...

I've always wondered why it is called legacy and till today i still dunno y its called legacy but i do know this... legacy is old... and according to wikipedia

A legacy system is an old computer system or application program that continues to be used because the user (typically an organization) does not want to replace or redesign it.

Or in my context

A legacy port is a port or connector on a PC that is considered fully or partially obsolete.

Oh yea... that's legacy, all the grandfather interfaces that we once knew are all lumped up under the legacy umbrella. So i came up with another explaination of legacy

Legacy is like a form of cancer, it just keeps on growing; and what that doesn't grow, it either gets replaced or it gets phased out i.e. its dead.

and like it or not, i just have to learn to like it coz tat's wat i'll be doing. Well i din sign up for this but i guess i just have to learn to take it, and if i'm able to master all the Legacy interfaces then it would be hell of an exposure and experience coz Legacy ain't easy

I'm counting down the days until KJ leaves me to the sharks i just hope that he'll b able to pass down all that he knows to me b4 disappearing. I just dunno how would i, could i hold the fort tis time. Its just all to new to me. Sigh~~

Well its either i master all there is to be mastered in Legacy and be a part of it; or i'll be turned into Legacy myself. Hahaha.... help me~~

1st week in Rocketland

Tick tock... tick tock... tick tock...

Sun rise, sun set... sun rise, sun set...

Its been a week since i left KL and stayed in Penang... Wif a bunch of ppl i called friends and trust me... wif friends like them, u TOTALLY do NOT nid enemies.

Well tis is for real... no longer like last time where we were still students, can go goof around like nobody's business; and now... everyone is bz wif their work... most of the time i will be the 1st to b home. Well i shouldn't say things like tis coz for now i might be still free but later ... ... well i might be as busy as everyone else.

Penang has not changed much since my last visit, but i do noticed dat its damn hot recently. Its been a week since it last rained and the weather is just too much. Oh where has the rain gone to??? When will it come?? But hopefully when it rains it doesn't pours... just normal rain would b the best.

Well tmr marks the 2nd week of my stay in penang and my 2nd week at work. The real deal starts now. When the going gets tough, i must get going... Lets make my new job here a meaningful one....

MIssing

On way way back to KL i went into Ipoh to find Lee to settle something and b4 dat i was in office chatting wif SMing. From both of them i know dat me leaving office has some effect on them and ... ... well ... i cant help but to feel sorry for them.

Since i've left, Lee n VT nid to take care of the entire line during Trial and even so, there aren't enuf man power to do everything. They nid to work additional hr and i seriously mean additional hrs; sometimes till 9 or 10pm.

And as for SMing... well there is no longer tis someone to accompany her to canteen or to the minimart during break time and no longer have some ppl to entertain her when she is bored.

Overall, thinking about them makes me feel bad for leaving but i know dat its oni a state they will go through and it'll pass BUT at the same time i miss my time back at Sony. I like my colleagues here, coz i was an intern here so i do know all most of the members here but i oso love my colleages back there... sigh~~

I'll grow out of this moody feeling soon... i nid to put 110% on my new ownership in my new work... GAMBATE~~~!!!

My days in INTegrated ELectronics

Haha... today marks my 1st week in the company, well to be exact i should say my 2nd day at work coz i spend the first 3 days in orientation. BUT i'm starting to feel the stress... maybe its more of a self induced but nevertheless, its here (the stress i mean), KH din give face when he spelled out his expection towards me and the expection, well its not vry low... brr... scary

Legacy is like cancer, it oni knows to keep on growing. Adding newer, or should i say, more interfaces to it with each newer release of technology.

But 1 thing to say about the tis place, the company has change a lot, and its really showing a lot of love towards its employees ensuring they r hapi. First free coffee now free softdrink too haha well i hope tis is a good choice for me, pressure let it come and let it be, i'll survive... Well it my career choice and i'll stick by it.

Oh.. wait~ I forget to mention that i got a cubical too haha, and to my suprise i got the one and only MeiGie's cube. Well its kinda a downfall dat i'm unable to see her b4 she resigned... sigh~~ but nvm i think there will b a chance sometime in the future

Final weeks in KayL

U heard of the expression "Time flies when having fun" Well it really felt really true for me for a week ago...

After staying in KL for majority of my time, i've made a decision to leave KL to find a, hopefully, a newer career and maybe future. And after spending so much of my time there there are just too many ppl whom i'll really miss and thus many farewells; of which some are vry meaningful if not emotional ones... There were some from my colleagues, my friends, and not forgetting the ladies . Well its those small things that really make u miss them even more.

1st farewell for me was wif Chiun and all. Althought there arent much emo stuff but i really appreciate them making time for me, i mean they are really bz wif their work but they find the time to out dinner wif me...

Next was wif the ladies. Well i actually had 2 sessions wif them and both were ... ... meaningful hahaha. We went to winter warmners for tea n a lot of chit chatting and later went to have dinner.

Another Ouch pic

For me O.o??

Over dinner i was asked to give a small sharing of my inner feelings and i was like... er... wtf?? But they actually started it 1st. It was through them that i actually have a special place in them. All of them were saying how i actually left them wif a vry good impression. And it all begin wif their 1st day reporting themselves to uni. It was my presence during the rollcall, giving my welcoming speeh which lead them to have a turn around on uni life. Flo was saying it was me who relieved her of her fear of surviving in a non-english speaking environment. Liz was saying that it was me who influenced her into joining the orientation committee while SC was saying she really look up to me coz i was vry confident in speaking to everyone on stage. But the most important thing that they actually said is how succesful i was in mixing n integrating myself wif them all and all other juniors of my time. I was a senior they could look up to and say, "this is a good university senior" and that was the most touching thing that i've ever heard throughout my uni years. Ladies, if any of u are reading... thx for the vote of confidence. They even bought me a present as my farewel gift.

Gift from them to me

... oops look at the time.. i guess i'll continue on my dinner wif my colleagues next time... spend too much time reading my work stuff dat forgot to continue bloggin... cont next then

Consume electronics to semicon a totally new scope for me (well not 100% but still relatively new) and today... today is my 1st day reporting to work.

BUT today the whole day i was in the orientation programme... and the programme... is 3 days... full 3 days... ... ... the best part is that i've previously attend the orientation programme so its kinda the same thing to me all over again, its like a refreshier course hahah ... sien

Welcome a new begining for a new chapter in a new place for me. =)
